Would you expose someone who is abusing Social Security Disability benefits?

I know these lazy guys who are in their mid twenties who get disability benefits. These guys are physically able to wrestle, clean their house and they do side jobs for cash. Yet the federal government cuts them a check once a month because they were approved for being disabled. I'm sorry but it makes me sick to my stomach.

Not to rain on the parade, but in 2016 Disability will take in less than it pays-out. When that happens benefits will automatically be cut. I don't know how that plays-out, but DC will try to convince you that it is your job to pay them their benefits. They will want payroll tax increases to do it.

If I could actual prove it then yes. To many people get away with abusing the system that the people who truly need it get the short end of the stick.

Yes! I used to have a friend who was an investigator of disability cases. She used to get videos of people dancing in bars, riding motor cycles, playing golf, while on the public dime.

People should expose them. And while they are at it, may I suggest sending the crook an anonymous letter telling them that video has been turned over to the FBI and they better cancel their benefits and start job hunting immediately?
